    OK, so I didn't have time to read all the posts, but I just wanted to say:

    If there is anyone out there looking for a great hotel in Lisbon, I have one. I stayed there by random chance when I first traveled there with fellow students in '98. When I went back (solo) to see PJ in Lisbon (first show of the tour), I headed straight towards it, as it was the only think I remembered/knew.

    It is not fancy, it is not going to knock your socks off..... but the view from my room (both times I've stayed there) overlooked an amazing castle wall (castelo de Jorge?) It knocked MY socks off, mainly because I couldn't f'in believe that I was half-way around the world, ALONE, to see Pearl Jam. But it's also a nice place.

    PM me if interested, and I'll look to see the name (I saved the hotel card from the front desk).

    Enjoy Lisbon (awesome city) and Pearl Jam. I'm jealous!

    Hi, sorry to interrupt you!
    I am looking for a floor ticket (Plateia em Pé) for September 5 show. Does anyone have a spare?
    I tried Ticketline. But seems sold out except for balcony seats.
    I have not decided yet, but I am thinking of flying from Japan if I can get one for my summer vacation because PJ do not seem to come to my coutry on this tour.

    Damn it is 104 degrees here yesterday & today. Been hot all week Not too bad though, just take a nice 2-3 hr siesta in the heat fo the afternoon. And stay in the shade. And hang outside until 1-2 am. Such anice break from USA schedules.

    CANNOT WAIT until Monday (secunda-feira?) for first show.

    staying at IBIS near ave. de liberdade. have no idea how good it is. Hope the airconditioning works better than here in Evora.

    see you there!!
